My name is Terry Fitzsimmons, I am a member of Goldrush Getaways. I recently was on vacation in Hawaii with my wife and two daughters. Both airlines (Aloha, ATA) we were using went bankrupt leaving us stranded at the airport in Maui. We were in the process of returning home (LAX). We frantically tried other airlines for flights that day only to find out there were no room for us. The only flights we could find were two weeks out. With no flights and no place to stay I then decided to call Goldrush Ontario office for help. Deidre and Melonie helped us find a flight with only a five day wait and a place to stay near the airport. My thanks goes to these two wonderful ladies for all their help.

With my deepest appreciation,
Terry Fitzsimmons

My Wife and I have been members of Goldrush Getaways for a little more than seven years we have taken many trips to various places, we have been able to book some very exciting cruises during our time with Goldrush which in my opinion is where you can make the most money. When looking into a business venture one must put into it a lot of hard work to get the most out of it we continue to enjoy our vacations each year and help others with there travel needs.

My wife and I have been members of Goldrush Getaways for several years and find it very valuable. We act as travel agents for our family and friends. I will also book travel for anyone, which Goldrush lets me do. It is a low cost way to be a travel agent. There are many other companies wanting to sign up independent travel agents, but most have a high monthly fee. If you want to set up an independent agency, you can and Goldrush is a good place to start and learning.

We travel about three months out of the year and Goldrush Getaways gives us the ability to do this and save by knowing the best deals and learning about different vendors. If you don't want to travel it is not a good deal.

My wife and I have been members since 2004. Through out our experience, Goldrush Getaways has guided, and educated us throughout our Travel business venture. Our commissions have been paid, even when we made a mistake. When ever we have called for assistance in either the Ontario office, or the Citrus Heights office, everyone has always went out of their way to assist us. You get out of the membership, what you put into it, and we are well on our way creating a nice retirement business as full time agents, and a nice client base too. As you progress as an agent you learn how and when to travel, which in turn saves you money. Thanks to all the staff who has helped, and continues to help us.

Since joining Goldrush Getaways my husband and I have learned alot about the travel business thru Goldrush classes and vendor presentations, greatly broadened our knowledge of the world, and taken some fantastic vacations (at very good prices) to parts of the world that we might not otherwise have visited (China, Kenya, the Amazon). Add in a great staff and interesting fellow members and for us it has been a great investment.

Nancy in the Travel/Reservations department has been superb in her responsiveness and assistance with coordination with other travel suppliers. Training classes taught by Janis are clear and well organized; she makes it easy for beginners.

Since becoming travel agents with Goldrush Getaways, my husband and I are "vacationing daily" either literally - through our own travels - or vicariously - through the amazing vacation packages we plan for our clients. Who knew the "average american" could experience the world's offerings without having to win the lottery? We have personally, in the past three years, been to China; Africa; on a two-week oceania cruise to the Amazon; on a ten day Southern Caribbean cruise on Disney; and are leaving on Dec. 7 For a Christmas Market River Cruise - all trips at a fraction of the retail price! The people at Goldrush (particularly Janis Green) have been so willing to teach me the "ins and outs" of the travel business and to provide learning experience with all the travel vendors through their seminars - I have a new outlet for my passion for traveling the world!!! Thank you Goldrush Getaways!

My wife and I joined Goldrush Getaways in 2005 and have never regretted a minute. The benefits have been overwhelmingly greater than any expenses incurred and far exceeded any expectations we had. Prior to our association with Goldrush Getaways, we travelled extensively throughout the world. This association has allowed us to continue our travels at a more economical rate and has allowed us to set up travel arrangements for others while making a profit at the same time. As with most ventures, you get out what you are willing to put into it.

The staff have always been very professional, extremely helpful as well as friendly. We have taken all the training courses they have offered and found the training to be very useful when making travel arrangements for ourselves or for others.

We would highly recommend Goldrush Getaways to anyone that has an interest in travel.
